Review: MARY POPPINS at Musicals At Richter
by Sean Fallon - Jul 26, 2026

On Saturday, July 25th, I had the pleasure of seeing yet another phenomenal musical at Musicals at Richter, MARY POPPINS! The outdoor ambiance at Musicals at Richter tremendously enhances my enjoyment of these productions, seeing these shows under the stars on clear nights! The moving set is elaborate, with a beautifully painted London skyline in the back, including Big Ben. A waxing gibbous moon arose behind the center of the stage and drifted towards and beyond stage left, throughout the course of the evening. The true stars were on the stage, though, as Musicals at Richter has once again managed to acquire a cast so spectacular that it feels as if Musicals at Richter had hired professional ringers posing as local performers. Director Kate Kovacs combines her talents with music director Vincent Fontenelli, and choreographer Melissa Arizzi to help bring out the best in this professional-level cast! If I was a scout/recruiter for Broadway, I would have made some offers after the show!
